Guidelines for Reflection Paper

Guidelines for Reflection Paper

CALL (Spring, 2023)

 

  1. The paper must be typed.
  2. The paper should be 1.5 to 2 pages long (1.5 spaced).
  3. Writing should use formal English, correct spelling, and punctuation.
  4. Topics may include any information covered in class or from the readings.
  5. Consider the followings when writing your reflection:
    1. Do you think the English class this semester is helpful to you?
    2. What have we studied/learned so far that interests you?
    3. What new things have you learned?
    4. How has your learning affected the preconceptions or misconceptions you brought with you into this class?
    5. How has your learning influenced your view of computers in language learning?
    6. Will what you have learned to change your behavior in the future?
  6. Deadline: Please submit your reflection paper to Blackboard before June 10 (Midnight, Saturday, 6/10/2023). Please also hand in a hard copy when you come to the class on Wednesday (6/14/2023).

Attention:
Writing a reflection helps you find what is meaningful to you and adds value to your learning. Do not simply outline or summarize the materials we have covered. I want to know what the materials mean to you.
